Question

Compare and contrast the rise and fall of Germany and Japan during the period of World War II.(4 points)

Write the correct answer in 7th grader words, in paragraph form, and in 3-4 sentences

Answer 1

Germany and Japan both rose to power before World War II, but they did it in different ways. Germany, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, used aggressive military tactics and propaganda to take over countries in Europe, while Japan expanded its territory in Asia through war and colonization. However, both nations faced major defeats as the war went on. Germany was defeated in 1945 after losing battles like Stalingrad and Berlin, while Japan surrendered after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Eventually, both countries fell from their powerful positions, but they rebuilt and became successful in the years that followed.
